SECTION 2 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
ThefunctionoftheAS700Desktop Pressure Sealer is todrawunfoldedforms
fromastack, fold themeitheronce or twice,sealthecohesive edges andplacethem
intoa receivingtray. Formscan be 'C', 'Z' or 'V' (eccentric'C' oreccentric 'Z'fold), and
thereisalsoahandfeed facility tosealpre-foldedforms;thisfeature may also beused
toseal a divertedform.
Prior to use for the first time, or after a change of form type the machine can be
calibrated to detect double documents. Subsequently, if more than one form is fed
(eg. two together), these will be diverted into a tray in the top of the machine before
reaching the sealing rollers. The form used for calibration will also be diverted into
this tray (which allows checking of folds and ensures that only a single document was
fed).
A jog facility is provided, which operates the machine in short 'spurts' in order to
help clear forms through the paper path. The area in which the form stops is
highlighted on the control panel; this will be accompanied by an error number, the
description of which may be referenced by using the look-up table in Section 10 of
this document. The display also indicates the forms count when the machine is
running; the counter may be reset to zero at any time, eg. when starting a new job.

SECTION 6 SET UP
6.1 LOADING THE PAPER HOPPER 1. Fan a stack of forms
(max. 250) and align the
edges.
3. Press down on the tray
and load the forms. Ensure
the leading edges are
contacting the chassis.
4. Gently release the tray.
2. Adjust the width of the
side guides to give 1-2mm
(approx, 1/16") clearance
on each side.
6.2 SETTING THE FOLD PLATES
There are 2 fold plates, allowing 'C' (or letter) fold or 'Z' (accordian) fold, either
equal of eccentric. Fold plate 1 is located under the hopper tray and fold plate 2 is
accessed by raising the top cover. If a single ('V') fold only is required, either equal or
eccentric, a no-fold guide is fitted to fold plate 2. See also section 6.2.4 for details on
fold options.
6.2.1 Fold Plate 1
Loosen the knob and
adjust the stop so that
the pointer aligns with
the measurement of the
1st. fold (see section
6.2.4). Retighten the
knob.
